King Charles in tears in first post-summer outing a day before late Queen's anniversary - all the photos

The King cut a distinguished figure in a traditional kilt, and a bespoke silver sporran, which functions as a pocket for the kilt. 

Queen Camilla wore a feather-patterned crepe silk shirt from Cordings, and complemented her outfit with a hat with two pheasant feathers on it, perhaps a nod to the hunting and shooting activities often carried out by the royal family in Scotland. 

The Queen was presented with a small bouquet of white heather, symbolising protection and good luck. 

The royal couple shared a smile as they settled in to watch the Games.

Events include the caber toss, a feat of strength where larch trees, sometimes over 20 feet long, are thrown end over end, tug o' war, throwing of hammers, pipe bands and highland dancing.
